A hydroelectric power generator combines several main components: a reservoir to store water, an intake system with control gates and intake pipes called penstocks, turbines driven by the high-energy water flow, electricity generators driven by the turbines, transformers to convert the power output to higher voltage, and an outflow system, or tailrace, to discharge the water.

As a result, penstocks, transformers, and power distribution facilities were targeted at Suiho and the other hydroelectric sites, instead of the dams themselves.
